The Solicitor General has discretion on whether to bring a quo warranto action under Section 3. In exercising this discretion, valid reasons such as dismissing a case in the interest of the State are considered. Two requirements for commencing the action are permission of the court where the action is filed, and depositing an indemnity amount approved by the court. There are two types of quo warranto actions: compulsory and discretionary, with Section 3 covering discretionary actions where the Solicitor General may bring the case at the request of another person.

Nature of Quo Warranto Proceeding under Section 3: Discretionary
The Solicitor General or public prosecutor exercises the discretion on whether or not to bring the action for quo warranto. Amante v. Hilado 67 Phil. 338 (1939) In the exercise of sound discretion, the Solicitor General may suspend or turn down the institution of an action for quo warranto where there are just and valid reasons. Gonzales v. Chavez, G.R. No. 97351, February 4, 1992, 205 SCRA 816 Like the Attorney-General of the United States who has absolute discretion in choosing whether to prosecute or not to prosecute or to abandon a prosecution already started, our own Solicitor General may even dismiss, abandon, discontinue or compromise suits either with or without stipulation with the other party. Abandonment of a case, however, does not mean that the Solicitor General may just drop it without any legal and valid reasons, for the discretion given him is not unlimited. Its exercise must be, not only within the parameters get by law but with the best interest of the State as the ultimate goal.
